Should you buy a Skyline for a first car?


Recommended Posts

A neighbour of mine asked me what I think of the Skyline series and whether it is a good idea to buy one as a first car. He's 17.

What do you guys think? Is it a good idea to learn how to handle a powerful RWD car while you're young or should the youngens drive a small FWD to begin with and why?

Why do these type of threads come up all the time? Ask yourself what do all young male drivers do in there first car. - Hammer it. Why do you think they want a skyline then? Ask him if he would drive a turbo or non turbo version to find the answer. If he just likes the power (which all young drivers do, don't kid yourself), tell him to chill out till hes older. Then he'll at least get older.

well, most of the people think they can control their car - well!

but in real world, the driving ability of people is bad.

i am pretty sure that there is NO p plate can control a tubro skyline well, why don't get something easily and pratice yr driving ability? beside performance, the car is still way too big to drive and park for a P plate.

i had a silvia as my first car and i am quite regard not buying a FF(civic).

not offence, but young people just can't control theirself to do stupid thing, we all know coz we have been there.

I drove a toyta hilux 2.4 litre as my first car! And then I bought my parents EB falcon. (cliche?)

Now I have my 1st nice car, didn't get it till I was 22.

When I 1st got my licence there was an old blue celica (the datsun/escort style) coupe that I really wanted. It wouldn't have been fast, but a cool 1st car.

If you are in Victoria, forget about the Turbo Skyline's, they are too powerful, power to weight. (and the weight is determined from the factory figue) As is a rex.

Just get some car you like, thats not a skyline. 15-20k is a lot to spend on a 1st car, and as it was said before, most people have at least 1 little scrape, in their early years.
